Default Base for conversion?

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a 1/8 what would be a good 'cheap' base for a conversion? I don't mind doing some fabrication but this will be my first 1/8 so unsure what to go for any help would be great thanks

mbx6 are now cheap because the mbx7 is out, very solid basis to do a conversion

Likewise a lot of people are getting rid of their Hara edition D8s due to the D812 coming out, this would be a great conversion and you can copy Vorza setups.

if you are on a budget OFNA LX2E, NEXX8 and Team C t8E are very good buggies for the price

I agree get a MBX6, excellent parts quality and they are cheap now used.
